The workshop will draw the participation of representatives of nine member countries and observers of the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA). Delegates will discuss the function of legislation and the role of female parliamentarians, their involvement in law building, and the integration of gender issues into the lawmaking process.

It will be a forum to share information and experiences on gender integration in the parliamentary activities of member countries. It will help enhance cooperation among female AIPA parliamentarians and promote their role in parliament activities.

Delegates will prepare a report for the 31st AIPA General Assembly scheduled for Vietnam next September, which will include detailed proposals to harmonise laws on gender equality among member countries.
